I bet Youtube's doing this just to try and kickstart the fad again, didn't it flop?
A favourite of mine is Googling "recursion".

You may be thinking that because this has been done to death with a lot of sites thanks to this:

[QUOTE=barttool;39764865]I think that the reason Harlem Shake is so popular is because:
1. Easy to produce
2. Easy to collaborate to do it
3. Works really well in work and study environments (check out all the companies doing the stupid thing)
4. You can show it to all your friends and co-workers for jiggles
It's really stupid from an outside perspective...[/QUOTE]

I just don't get how this thing got so fucking popular and everybody jumped on it.
My two guesses are: It's really easy to make and people want those precious views whether they've got talent/imagination or not.
Two: Attempting to replicate Gangnam Style's effect.

Then went Viral and used all his bandwidth :V
It's better than the other website harlem shakes since it slows down and then stops but it felt like everything had a second delay or something
That's neat and all, but the web page is missing the virtual gun that gives us the option to virtually shoot ourselves in the head upon coming across this.
I didn't even know what the harlem shake was until today...
Do I win a prize?

Yes, you didn't know about the dumb things that spread around on the internet.
I congratulate you.
I hate the fact that it has been done with the HTML 5, it was done well, but HTML 5 haves sound issues for me...
Everyone are doing this because everyone are doing this.
Stupid sheeps without a mind of their own
loud as all hell, but I sort of expected that
and as long as we're talking about google easter eggs, kerning and keming remain among my favorites
